Tanner Fox is one of the most popular American YouTubers whose empire grew to the point where he became the owner of his own YouTube channels which bring him a lot of profit. His YouTube popularity came from the fact that he is one of the best scooter riders in the world and a great adventurist.
He made a fortune from his YouTube career and has a net worth of over $1 million and it grows more. He is working on his content daily and many people believe that he deserves all of the things he has.
Tanner Fox Early years
This well known scooter rider was born on December 22, 1999 in a town of San Diego in California in United States. Since he was born in the US in the ideal era of millenials, he had no issues with pursuing his dreams.
He was a very athletic kid, always on the look for adventure. Since he was just little, he was always into boarding, whether it was a hoverboard or a skateboard. Tanner was always active: playing, jumping, running, swimming and skating.
He was especially interested in scooters and his mother helped him to develop his skills in that area, although many mothers just do the opposite because they are scared that the child will get injured. She saw that he was very enthusiastic about it and she was happy about it, for she knew that he will finally use up his energy.
His older sister Lindsay was always his best friend and they are very close to each other even today. Lindsay is very supportive and wants what is best for her brother Tanner.
Lindsay and Tanner became even closer in the period when their parents get divorced. The divorce was done in a very ugly manner and the kids were very sad because of this situation. In the end, the siblings remained very well connected and they are a huge support to each other to this day. You can see them sharing photos on social media.
The bad situation ended with the fact that Tanner had to follow his sister and mother and move out of their home. It was very stressful but they managed to survive it because they were very supportive.
This was a very tiresome and sad experience for Tanner and his sister: to move away from their home and friends. Tanner said that it felt as if he had lost a huge part of him and that he was actually trying to fill that void with bad habits, but his sister was there to stop him and support him.
Tanner and Lindsay always watched out for their mum and they pretended to be stronger than they really were, just to help their mum to overcome this bad experience.
Tanner is very proud of his mom and her achievements. He is proud of her success in being a single mum to them. Fox claims that he had never seen a stronger woman in his life.
She had to work very hard and give up on a lot of her dreams because of her children. She never regret her decision and that is why Tanner still has a great relationship with his mother.
Tanner was a pupil at Sacred Heart School which was settled in San Diego but he didn’t go to this school very long. He never felt good at this school (which was a private Catholic school) and always felt like he was worse than other pupils.
He was expelled from this school when he was only eleven years old but it was only one year after his parents got divorced which was still a big issue for him.
He found solitude in YouTube and this was one of the reasons he was expelled from school.
He was an internet addict and watching YouTube was his great satisfaction. He was always dreaming that he will become a big YouTuber star. Tanner’s big wish later came true, but he had no idea that he would do this thanks to his dream and hobby: scooters.
He was so obssesed with YouTube and making videos that he started filming everyone everywhere without their permission and posting it on YouTube.
This was against school’s policy and was just one more reason to expell him from school. His parents agreed that they had to do something concerning his education and behaviour so they havr sent Tanner to charter school.
Charter school meant that he had to go to school only two days a week but just for a few hours. He hated school so much that even this was hard for him to do. Tanner had other things in mind and wanted to focus on his YouTube career. He knew that he was the right person to pursue this hobby.
Although he tried going to charter school for almost two years, it was never with too much success so his parents eventually decided to homeschool Tanner. Homeschooling fit Tanner more because he started to be popular on YouTube and didn’t have a lot of time for studying.
It was in 2015 that he finally managed to get his diploma (to pass his final GED test) and he graduated from high school on his mother’s great pleasure. Tanner is one of the lucky guys who turned their passion into careers, and lives by earning money from his scooter skills.

He was only 12 at the time and didn’t want to do anything but ride his skateboard, hooverboard and scooter. He had no interests for school and he was always tired. It seemed as if he had used up all of his energy on playing.

Tanner often emphasized the importance of role models in his life. One of them was his mum and the second was a popular world known scooter rider Jordan Clark.
Tanner spends a lot of time hanging with his best friend Jake Angeles, who is also a scooter rider and the two of them make interesting videos together.
They love to make stunts and have fun while doing them. A lot of videos Tanner uploaded on YouTube have Jake Angeles in it. Since they both like comedy they decided not to make only videos which contain Scooter stunts and riding but to include pranking and challenges in their videos to make them more interesting to the public.
